    • Method Detail

      • replyExpected

        public boolean replyExpected()
        Description copied from class: AbstractMRMessage
        Is a reply expected to this message?

        By default, a reply is expected to every message; either a reply or a timeout is needed before the next message can be sent.

        If this returns false, the transmit queue will immediately go on to transmit the next message (if any).

        Overrides:
        replyExpected in class AbstractMRMessage
        Returns:
        true by default in Abstract MR message.

        • 0x00000100 send changes in system state (such as track voltage)
        • 0x00010000 send changes to locomotives on XpressNet (must also have 0x00000001 set.
        • 0x01000000 forward LocoNet data to the client. Does not send Locomotive or turnout data.
        • 0x02000000 send Locomotive specific LocoNet data to the client.
        • 0x04000000 send Turnout specific LocoNet data to the client.
        • 0x08000000 send Occupancy information from LocoNet to the client
        • 0x00040000 Automatically send updates for Railcom data to the client

        address - the RM Bus address to write.
        Returns:
        z21 message for LAN_RMBUS_PROGRAMMODULE

      • getLanCanDetector

        public static Z21Message getLanCanDetector​(int address)
        Parameters:
        address - CAN NetworkID of the module to request data from.
        Returns:
        z21 message for LAN_CAN_DETECTOR request message
